The History of Russia in Faces. Lenin. Graphic Biography

This is a non-fiction comic for those who do not seek simple answers about the main revolutionary of the 20th century. The life story of Vladimir Lenin is a story of how the determination, strategic mind, and unyielding will of one person turned the course of history. It is about how ideas born in the silence of libraries and in heated debates with political opponents were able to destroy what seemed to be an unshakeable empire and create a new reality. Immerse yourself in the whirlpool of events: - a rebellious student makes his way to the leader of the revolution through years of underground work, escape from exile, and forced emigration; - a risky journey in a sealed carriage is undertaken, a speech is delivered from an armored car, the cruiser "Aurora" fires, and an assassination attempt is made on the head of state; - Lenin appears not as an icon, but as a competent politician: a tactician, organizer, and ruthless polemicist who could persuade and lead others. History is not only about actions but also about ideas. Simple and clear illustrations explain complex philosophical and political concepts of Bolshevism. Who is this comic for? For teenagers and young people who want to form their own opinion about a complex historical figure, not just receive a ready-made label. For all lovers of graphic novels and non-fiction comics, where important themes are presented through powerful visual imagery.
